What he did then: Commander, 205th Military Intelligence Brigade

What he does now: Recently relieved as commander, 205th Military Intelligence Brigade; pending reassignment

Reported involvement: Pappas commanded the intelligence personnel serving as interrogators, linguists, analysts, and supervisers at Abu Ghraib. According to Army doctrine, MI personnel should be strictly separated from the MPs assigned to work as prison guards. In practice, at Abu Ghraib the MPs were placed under the "tactical control" of Pappas and his intelligence unit, making them subject to his orders.

Punishment: According to the Associated Press, Pappas was fined about $8,000 and given a letter of reprimand by his commanding general, Maj. Gen. Bennie Williams, for dereliction of duty while commanding his unit in Iraq. In May 2005, Pappas was formally removed from command of the 205th MI Brigade.
